How was the Video Editing? Now do you think you can dance?

To be frank, this task was a night mare for me. In fact the time given was quite short, as there were only 4 days allocated for this task. It was a bit short because group work is definitely time consuming. Video editing is something that has to be done step by step and I think that dividing job among group members is not really a possible act. To be precise, for this task, firstly we needed to download the episodes from 8tv website. Then, we need to gather all the materials to be edited.

This is where the problem occurs. Video editing cannot be divided to be done by a few people as the video needs to have a good flow even after the editing which might not be maintained if the video is edited by a few persons at different times. Hence, sitting down as a group appears t be the best way to accomplish this task. However, it is not easy for the whole group to sit down together to do the editing job due to the difference of schedule. It was quite tough for us to find time to gather all the group members to attempt the task together.

Things went worst when it went to the uploading part. After coming back home from the university, without wasting any time I switched on the laptop to start uploading the videos onto Adec. I did not know what was the matter, perhaps the files were just too large to be uploaded onto Adec. We were required to do everything in avi format, which appears to be one of the largest file ever. I sat down in front of the laptop for at least 8 hours, I only managed to upload one out of more than 20 videos! That was crazy!

Knowing that the other group members were likely to be able to upload the video, I packed my stuffs to go and stay in the house in order to try upload the videos as soon as possible. There we stayed up the whole night trying to upload the video. Everyone was very tensed up as all the group members were going back to hometown on that day for holiday. However, after staying up the whole night we only manage to upload another 1 video onto Adec.

In the end we decided to upload the videos onto adec in the computer lab in the university. Luckily we managed to upload the video in the computer lab. Yet, things did not end here. Later on in the evening, when I was almost going to start my journey back to hometown, I got to know that we were to burn all the videos in CD and hand in the CD to Izyan. This sudden change of instruction had cause me a mental break down after staying out for the whole night. I just could not take it anymore as the instruction was quite last minute. Here, thank you izyan, for actually trying your best to find the solution for us regarding the failure to upload the videos onto adec. Also thanks to zarne, as she was the one who burned the CD when I could not take it anymore.

*Sigh* this task was really a night mare!
